Sometimes it's nice to get kids gifts that are just a little bit larger.  Small items, while fun at first, can get lost and broken easily.  Plus, when it's something that's functional and has a purpose, it's more likely to be used.  So today's stop on the Holiday Gift Guide brings us to Delta Children. Sending a big thank you to Delta Children for sending us these great items for review! Because our girls really needed some additional storage options in their room, we started with the Disney Read more [...]

I partnered with HeadAid on this compensated post. All opinions are my own. Nobody likes a headache or a migraine. It seems like more and more people are growing concerned with common over the counter medications as well. If you find yourself with a headache, and you want to avoid common over the counter pain relievers - what are your options? I once had a doctor recommend laying in the dark until the pain subsided. I have absolutely done that when waiting for pain medication to kick in when Read more [...]

Thank you to Image3D for providing me with product in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. A couple of months ago, my nine-year-old daughter saw the commercial for the thing you attached to your cell phone, put it on your head and see photos/videos. She began begging for one. I told her their was no way she was going to get one- she doesn't have a cell phone, I am not spending that amount of money, and I don't like the idea of putting a cell phone that close to your Read more [...]

Doodling has been around for ages.  Back in the "old days" we used to doodle and draw on scraps of paper all the time!  Our notebooks were fair game for whatever bit of art we were currently inspired by.  It was a past time that I loved and I know I wasn't alone.  Almost every paper, quiz, or test has some sort of doodle.  I remember in 6th grade, back when we sat in our "pod groups", a boy taught me how to draw a pretty cute dog face.  In 7th grade, I still remember learning how to draw a Read more [...]

Thank you to Gold Toe for providing me with these products in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Socks are something my boyfriend, Kyle, and I always seem to have a problem with. He wears his out very fast and almost all of them have holes. My socks get sweaty and stretched out. For both of us, it's a struggle to find a brand that produces quality socks that last a long time. I was very excited when Gold Toe reached out and wanted to partner up for the Holiday Gift Guide because Read more [...]

Nintendo of America provided me with a New Nintendo 3DS XL system and games for review. All opinions and thoughts are my own. Ryan & I both grew up as Nintendo fans. He's about 5.5 years older than I am, but we had the same game systems - the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) and the original Gameboy. His family purchased new systems right away, while my family was slower to adapt. It's neat that despite our age difference we have nostalgia for a lot of the same video games. For the Read more [...]
